Is it able for Manjaro team to do
Alternatively you can put the debug information in a separate package by enabling both
debug
andstrip
, debug symbols will then be stripped from the main package and placed, together with source files to aid in stepping through the debugger, in a separatefoo-debug
package.
to provide debug symbols in separate package to be able to report bugs, for example of current issues of
Ark 7zip and zip compression not working properly and crashing Dolphin
and
Got a black screen with mouse cursor only after switching (on SDDM screen) a user session type between X11 and Wayland
to make user be able to report bugs?
Cause as the Guidelines and HOWTOs/Debugging/How to create useful crash reports - KDE Community Wiki tells:
Backtraces
Backtraces are essential. They may look meaningless to you, but they might actually contain a wealth of useful information. A backtrace describes which functions were called prior to the crash, so that developers may track down in which function the mess started. Having good backtraces has a downside: libraries and executables occupy much more disk space than their optimized counter parts. That’s the reason why many distros choose to install stripped files which result in useless backtraces.
Otherwise to leave each user an hours to compile target package, then their dependencies stuff, than core application which crashes (like Ark app triggers plasmashell
crash) and then to fix possible errors during making packages.
May be separate debug symbols can be as solution or should we have nothing to do with upstream bug reports cause w/o debugging symbols
result in useless backtraces
and cause of
Backtraces are essential
we can’t submit useful bug reports.
Does the separate debug package symbols decision will lead Manjaro OS powered PCs to run as fast as always, but in the same being able to restart an app with applied debug symbols to reproduce the issue and to make good useful bug report to upstream developers?
May be a current technologies, tools, methods already made that possibility easier?
Thanks!
